Say, you don't believe in Identity Politics by any chance, do you?
They made up less than 3 percent of the Republican primary. The GOP primaries are no different than midterms. A rather white affair.

Now in the Midwest, southwest, florida, Massachusetts, Alabama, and Georgia he can run the table. Go home Rubiobots
He won because the vote under him is fractured. Why don't you question the fact that Trump cannot seem to break past a 1/3 of voters? Something that poll after poll have shown to be his natural base. He doesn't appeal beyond a small percentage of the electorate. His only benefit has been the overcrowded GOP voter base that has not allowed any other candidate to effectively challenge him is all. Unless either Cruz or Rubio wins a decent portion of Super Tuesday primary states that is not likely to change either.

33% is not a small % of the electorate especially when you have a bloated filed of candidates. I see far more Independents and Democrats on these boards willing to commit to Trump rather than vote for Hillary if that is what the final matchup will be.

You all have been counting him out since last June and he's still leading in the polls. I'm sorry that the candidates that I originally liked could not gain more favor with the voters as Trump was not my first, 2nd or 3rd choice - but if it's him vs Hillary - he will be my choice for President.

This is just opinion. The evidence proves just the opposite.
